For the lamb and marinade:

  1. Mix all the ingredients together and marinate the cutlets for a minimum of one hour, or overnight for added flavour. The best way to do this is to place them all in a freezer bag, massage the mix into the chops, then refrigerate until needed.
  2. Preheat the grill until extra hot and place the cutlets in an ovenproof dish. Grill until nice and crispy on the outside and pink on the inside, turning every once in a while to ensure both sides evenly cooked.
  3. Remove from oven and pour over the chilli herb drizzle.

For the drizzle:

  1. In a food processor, blend all the above together

To serve:

  1. Arrange two cutlets on a bed of parsnip and sweet potato dauphinoise, and some crispy kale and red cabbage salad.
  2. Drizzle any leftover sauce around the edge of the plate for decoration.
